Atherosclerosis also know as hardening of the arteries is common disease that occurs that fat, cholesterol and other substances build up in the walls of the arteries and then form plaques (hard deposits).
You need to make sure to keep the artery walls completely clean if you want to lower the risk of stroke and heart attack.
You can lower your overall cholesterol levels by taking statins, but these meds usually come with dangerous side effects.
The following natural remedy will help you to keep your arteries healthy!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of raw organic honey – optional
- 1 cup of grated ginger
- 1 cup of garlic
- 1 cup of apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup of lemon juice
Preparation:
Place all the ingredients in a saucepan and simmer on low heat for 30 min except the apple cider vinegar. Remove and strain the combination from the heat. Once it cooled down, put the ACV and honey and mix well. Pour the resulting mixture in glass container or jar and store it in the fridge.
How to use it
Add 2 tbsp of mixture in a glass of warm water and consume it on an empty stomach every morning.
Note
Shake the mixture before you use it.
Beneficial Effects of the Ingredients:
Apple Cider Vinegar reduces triglyceride levels and blood cholesterol because is rich in acetic acid.
Garlic keeps the blood flowing easily and relaxes the blood vessels due to the presence of allicin. This, in turn, reduces the pressure of the heart and allows the blood to carry more oxygen to the heart muscle.
Ginger reduces cholesterol levels and triglycerides that actually build up in the walls of the arteries. It is rich in gingerols – very potent anti-inflammatory compounds.
Lemon juice reduces the levels of cardiac inflammation because it has an alkaline effect on the body. The presence of Vitamin C slows down the progression of atherosclerosis.
